Dua Lipa is in hot water over her new 'universal' clothing range


'Universal and accessible for everyone.'

We absolutely adore Dua Lipa and so it pains us to write that her new clothing range, or rather what she's said about it, is totally wide of the mark.
The singer announced this week that she was releasing her capsule collection with /Nyden, a sister brand to H&M.

"I’m so excited for you to see these, can’t wait!" she wrote on Twitter.
Speaking to Vogue UK, she said that it was "exciting" to design her own clothes.
"I look for clothes that reflect strength and fearlessness, but also match up to today’s fast pace.
"So I’m excited to be co-creating with /Nyden on my designs – it’s going to be a collection that’s completely suited to me, both onstage and off, and for my fans.”
The news generated excitement from followers who wanted to know all about the range, including whether it would be inclusive.

In a tweet she's since deleted, Dua told followers that the range would go up to a UK size 16 - not exactly universal or accessible.
A number of followers criticised her for not catering to plus-size women.

More fool you, the UK Plus Size clothing market is out performing the straight size market, and is worth 6.6 BILLION, which you will be getting no part of because you couldn't be bothered to actually make an inclusive range *shrug*.

Okay but if there's no plus sizes it's not universally accessible???????

Unless you're revolutionising the standard UK clothing sizes and thus redefining "for everyone", you miiiiight want to dial down on the self-congratulating there, @DUALIPA https://twitter.com/saturrrday/status/999581910853652480 …

That’s the bottom end of plus size. You have fans that are bigger than a size 16, they should be catered for as well. I love you, but bigger people shouldn’t be penalised and they deserve their sizes to be included

Dua has yet to respond to the criticism.

The Foods You Need to Avoid to Keep Your Skin Clear

It's not necessarily greasy foods that are the culprits. It was an old wives’ tale worthy of medical research. Researchers managed to prove way back in 1969 that your chocolate noshing wasn’t causing you to break out, and that was a relief. In fact, science has since proven that certain foods can get rid of your acne. But that’s not to say that said old wives weren’t on to  something  because what you eat really does make a detrimental difference when it comes to your complexion,  according to Men’s Health. A study  published in the  Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics ventured to figure out exactly what the problematic pimple-causing foods were. The research involved two groups of 32 participants; one group had clear skin, the other had moderate-to-severe acne. Each group was asked to complete a five-day food diary and then get blood work done. Of all the participants, 61 percent believed that their diets were affect...

Ida Lundgren and Bianca Van Damme Could Easily Kick Your Butt!

If there were ever two fathers whose daughters would be genetically programmed to kick butt, those would be Jean Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren – two of the most badass actors-slash-martial-artists of our time. They have both taught their little daughters how to defend themselves and look fantastic while doing it. Let’s look at Dolph and Ida first Just like Dolph’s character in Rocky IV, Ivan Drago, his 21-year-old daughter Ida was asked to show off her amazing skills on the boxing ring as well. And, boy, did she deliver! In this photoshoot for Muscle&Fitness, Dolph is probably showing Ida some secret moves and teaches her about the weak spots and how important the footwork is. Maybe he even told her how to beat Sylvester Stallone. Or maybe I’m imagining thing. These days Ida is an aspiring young model, but she’s got a long way to go to be as popular as her dad. She may look like a frail girl most of the time, but don’t let her cute looks fool you! Ida can and...
